We're excited to invite you to our next volunteer event at the Hazelwood Food Recycling Site! As a key part of our community, your involvement helps us make significant environmental and social impacts through our sustainable initiatives.
This Augusts we will be highlighting the ongoing harvest of summer crops and the decision-making process for fall crop planting. We will be emphasizing compost sifting, weeding, and succession planting. Our goals this month are to harvest 300 lbs of produce and collect 3000 lbs of food waste.
This event will take place on August 17th from 10 am - 1 pm at 4501 Sylvan Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15207.
When you arrive, make sure to pull to the site closest to home rule street (at the end of Sylvan). You will see two large sheds, a bunch of compost bins and portable toilet to help identify the location. Make sure to bring closed toe shoes, long pants, and wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty! Insect repellent and sunscreen are also recommended. We will have gloves available, but you’re also welcome to bring your own.
We will also have lunch available, but we encourage you to bring your own water!
By joining us at the Hazelwood site, you'll contribute directly to our mission of sustainability and witness first-hand the difference we're making.
